Tuesday 31 August

Quiet day here from the reporters. Luckily I was out walking the dogs this morning and spotted a solo tufted duck on Claddach Loch with 4 mallard, and a ring-tailed hen harrier spooking a large flock of 20+ goldfinch. There were 2 skylark dust bathing on the track. Down by the village off the Orsay lighthouse island 3 gannets flew by.

In the garden in Port Wemyss the garden has been frequently visited by around 30 starlings.  Must be finding plenty in the short grass. 

George sent through some sightings from yesterday evening - a red legged partridge was near the road at Sunderland, apparently a popular spot for them.  In Coultorsay gardens robins were heard singing again after their summer moult.
